About this property

Beachfront Bliss with spectacular views


Shipwatch Villas is nestled within the stunning grounds of the Omni Amelia Island Resort.

Our condo offers a delightful retreat within this exclusive resort, where you'll discover over three miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches and meandering waterways awaiting exploration. Set amidst a serene forest of live oaks, you'll find endless opportunities for leisurely strolls and bike rides along the numerous scenic paths. Conveniently located within walking distance from our condo, the Omni Resort presents an array of shops and restaurants, along with a charming miniature golf course set amidst the majestic live oaks. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the diverse wildlife, from birds to turtles, crabs, and the occasional manatee sighting, all thriving in their natural habitat.

Our spacious second-floor condo is meticulously decorated to evoke the comforts of home while imbuing a sense of luxurious resort living. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, a generous walk-in closet, and an expansive master bathroom. The second bedroom offers a queen-sized bed with a private bathroom, while the third bedroom boasts two queen-sized beds and its own bathroom. Positioned in the south corner of the Villas, our condo treats you to breathtaking ocean views from the living room, dining area, kitchen, breakfast nook, and the master bedroom. Overlooking a serene relaxation area and green space, our villa also provides access to a seasonally heated pool.

Equipped with televisions in each bedroom and the living room, our condo ensures entertainment for all. We provide plush towels and high-quality sheets for your utmost comfort. The fully stocked kitchen includes a Keurig single cup coffee maker, a standard drip coffee pot, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Upon request, we can provide a Porta-Crib and high-chair for your convenience. Additionally, we strive to enhance your beach and pool experience by offering beach chairs, umbrellas, and various beach toys stored in our condo's storage closet.

Please note that while our complex features an elevator, there are still a few steps to access our condo door upon exiting the elevator, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues.

Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. I am readily available to address any needs you may have during your stay, ensuring prompt attention with the assistance of our dedicated cleaners, handymen, and contractors, all conveniently located on the island.

This premier condo offers an exceptional opportunity for a family getaway or special vacation, promising unforgettable ocean views and proximity to all resort activities. Ranked among the top three islands in the Continental US by Travel and Leisure 2021, Amelia Island guarantees a memorable vacation experience. We highly recommend travelers insurance for added peace of mind.

While this property is not a rental through Omni Amelia Island Resort, guests still have access to the resort's walking and biking trails, spa, nature center, putt-putt, and more. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy various courses in the Amelia Area, including Oak Marsh located on the grounds of the Omni Resort. Bike and golf cart rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that this rental does not grant access to certain resort privileges or amenities like the main hotel pool and fitness center, and Racquet Park is exclusively open to club members and their guests.

Rest assured, our layout adheres to all social distancing guidelines. With outdoor front door entrances and open-air stairwells, there are no enclosed common areas to worry about amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Amelia Island's private beaches ensure minimal crowding, while our rigorous cleaning protocols, following CDC guidelines and Nassau County's protocol, prioritize cleanliness, elegance, and comfort throughout your stay.

Weekend trip

We wanted a little get away for the weekend and this villa was perfect. It was very clean and we had no issues during our stay. It’s a short walk to the beach approximately 2-3 minutes. We loved the pool area as well and would take a dip after the beach. Showers are conveniently located by the pool area so you can wash off the sand before entering. Everyone was friendly and it was a peaceful quiet area which we enjoyed. Thanks to Michelle for being a great host. We would definitely recommend and would love to stay again sometime.

Just Beautiful!!

We had a wonderful week at the beach staying at Shipwatch Villas. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The whole property is so clean. The pool is centrally located and such a nice size. We never felt crowded while in the pool and it was always clean. The condo is updated and wonderfully furnished. The beds are very comfortable. The views for the sunrise is incredible. It was a fantastic view from the balcony!Michelle, our host was wonderful. She was just a text away if needed. Her communication with us was over and above. This was one of the nicest experiences we’ve had when renting a condo at the beach.

Relaxing Getaway

We had an amazing stay at this beach rental! The unit is an end unit, which gave us extra privacy and a peaceful atmosphere—perfect for a relaxing getaway. It's in a remote and quiet location, surrounded by natural beauty, which made it feel like a true escape from the everyday hustle.The space itself was beautiful and very spacious, with plenty of room to unwind. One of our favorite parts was the stunning water views—absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise. The unit was also exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable.If you're looking for a private, serene beach retreat with gorgeous views and a clean, spacious interior, this place is a fantastic choice. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful Week at Beachfront Bliss

Beachfront Bliss is a lovely, spacious and well appointed condo just a short, easy walk away from a beautiful beach and a large and inviting pool. Our family group of seven spent a week in the condo. It was clean, nicely decorated, and well equipped with everything we needed.There is easy access to miles of walking paths on the Omni Resort, which was a hit with the runners and walkers in our group, and enabled us to safely walk to restaurants and shops on the grounds. It is also an easy 15-20 minute drive to grocery stores and downtown Fernandina Beach.There is a small set of steps from the elevator to the condo, and also steps to the pool and the beach, which was not a problem for us, but may be a consideration for some. Michelle made sure that we were aware of this before reserving the condo.Our granddaughters have already requested a trip back to Beachfront Bliss.

Great location

The unit is very well equipped and very clean. It is close to the beach with great views and easy access to everything. It is a 20 minute easy drive to town but that was fine as it is the quiet end of the island. We would definitely go back. Michele and the owners were very responsive to the one small issue we had.

Hosted by Michelle Sheintal

Host profile image
My name is Michelle Sheintal and my friends the McGinelys own this condo. As our guest, you are a priority to me, and I am 'on call' to help you with anything you need during your stay ~ including any problems that could arise or to assist in guidance for fun activities and restaurant suggestions. My cleaners and handy men live nearby and can easily address any issues that need their attention during your stay. I am just a call or text away!

Why they chose this property

We have spared no details or expense to make sure you are comfortable during your vacation. Our number one goal is to have you return for future vacations. Our condo, which has been FULLY renovated has 'high-quality, name-brand' furniture & mattresses, linens, small kitchen appliances, towels, dishes, cookware, etc. We have created an environment within the condo that will hopefully tempt you to go ahead and book your next vacation with us ~ while still at our condo! The amenities at Shipwatch are superior to any condo I've stayed at in Amelia. The pool is over-sized and has a great deck area (including an area with covered tables).

What makes this property unique

You will receive a 'Welcome Packet' (via email) before your arrival that will provide you with all of the information you need (for a smooth check-in, and additional details to enhance your stay). Our Packet also includes restaurant suggestions, info on fun activities located on or near the Resort (ie bike rentals, golf cart rentals etc.), golf course suggestions, door codes, WiFi instructions, and so much more that will be a great reference for you during your vacation.
